london day 6 - saturday

well, i got couple of things on my list done.. i did the tour. and of course i sat on the top of the bus. it was insanely cold. i didn't have my hat of gloves, and i was just wearing a fleece.

i did however get a lot of shopping done. how i am going to get these items to fit in my suitcase? i have no idea.

i went to selfridges. this place is everything i hate about shopping all in one place.. millions of people, department store, i think there is womething like 6 floors. it was kind of neat to see all those deisgner stores in one place that you don't see anywhere really, you could have bought any kind of insanely expensive purse you wanted. i bought one somewhere else for 10 pounds. its kind of cute, but a little bigger then i like.

in the past couple of days i was thinking a lot about how nothing in this town is really disposable.. the best example is in the office. we had a full kitchen with coffee/tea mugs, real plates and spoons and eveything. and a dishwasher. there is sugar in a canister, milk in the refridgerator in milk bottles, people use spoons to stir their drinks. and everyone i've seen blow their noses uses a handkerchief. as i walked down oxford st yesterday and accidentily kicked a starbucks cup, it occured to me that the reason the streets are so clean is that their society on the whole is NOT disposable. there is FAR less trash to deal with becuase they just clean what they use, and reuse it.. its such a foriegn concept, but it makes this place so much more beautiful.

today i am going to walk over to buckingham palace and watch the changing of the guards. that happens every odd day at 1130am. (630 am your time) while i am over there i will scour the shops for this brilliant necklace that i saw on the hostess at ping pong.

last night i watched 7 episodes of LOST. i can see how addicting that show is. and i know why my dad likes it, it has the creepiest music ever!

alright, check out the pictures, i've uplaoded all my sightseeing pics from yesterday.
